• Societal Drivers

The world has changed in a way that our minds can’t handle.

We're Pitch-Slapped with constant technology and social media stimulation and feel pressured to be "ON" around the clock for work.

We’ve also evolved from a production society to a knowledge-based society,

Which requires us to engage in mentally draining activities.

• Mental

Sources of mental rest are:

• Breaks
• Boundaries
• Mindfulness

Schedule breaks and tie-in stretching, meditation or walks.

Set boundaries around technology use and your work.

Practice mindfulness in these three ways: journaling, meditation and breathwork.

• Physical

Physical rest allows our bodies to repair and restore themselves.

To restore yourself physically, take regular breaks and get a good night's sleep.

Engage in physical activity that is enjoyable, not overly strenuous and sustainable.

• Sensory

Sensory rest involves taking a break from sensory input and creating a calm and soothing environment.

Limit exposure to overwhelming sensory inputs: loud noises, bright lights, etc.

Create a soothing environment with soft light, pleasant smells and calm music.

Today, we’re hyper-connected and it drains us.

Set boundaries around your emotional labor and say no to emotional demands that feel overwhelming or taxing.

Practice healthy communication and conflict resolution skills to reduce emotional stress.
